Your summer 2018 love forecast - Is a summer romance on the cards?

WHO (Eight of Swords): An Air sign (hopefully a Libra, who is your opposite sign and therefore a sizzling connection). This person has been kinda stuck in a rut recently, and feeling trapped in some way. Cue: Aries. You can blast through barriers and batter down walls with your willpower and determination. You're going to help this person out, big time.

WHERE AND HOW (Nine of Coins, Queen of Cups): You may come across this person having a mini meltdown someplace connected to practical, material matters like a bank, post office, mortgage lender, or maybe even Ikea (Patron Saint of mini meltdowns...). You'll be able to help, and they'll see you as a real guardian angel. Then they'll look again and realise you're also kinda hot. And, there we go..

WHO (Justice): A Libra. Lucky you, because they're always good in bed, and other places. The Justice card hints that they've been entangled in some legal or material disputes with someone, which (*SPOILER ALERT*) they win. And they win fairly and squarely, which attracts you because you can tell they're a good egg and do the right thing, even when under pressure.

WHERE AND HOW (Ten of Wands, The Chariot): Definitely on a journey of some kind, perhaps the daily commute, perhaps en route to your holiday, perhaps someplace in connection to your own car or vehicle of choice. You'll be dead busy, distracted and up to your neck in stuff, though, so you've gotta be alert to the huns around when you're on the move.

WHO (Ace of Wands): A sparky Fire sign- YASS, they're fun (Aries, Leo or Sagittarius). Someone new to you, and with whom you sense an immediate chemistry and bond. You're not just physically attracted, but share loads of interests, values and ideas. You both don't shut up, so it's a good job neither if you is really listening! It's 'love at first sight' here.

WHERE AND HOW (Four of Cups, Knight of Swords): You'll be somewhere boring and dullsville, where you've slipped into one of your Gemini *comas*. But then... this character appears out of nowhere and suddenly you're wide awake. They make quite an entrance, you can tell right away they mean business. They exude confidence, if not a wee touch of arrogance, and you're all eyes.

WHO (Five of Cups): Mmm, I hate to say it, Cancer, but this could be a walk down Memory Lane with an ex you've never quite let go of (what am I saying? Cancers never REALLY let go of anyone, there's people from nursery you still *glance* at on social media). It's someone you've shed tears over. Guess who's back...

WHERE AND HOW (King of Swords, Four of Coins): This connection has never really been severed, so it's not a chance meeting as such. What triggers the reverse turn back to Love Town is a shared thought or goal for the future, which brings you back together, reminding you of what you had in common all along.

WHO (Judgment): A Cancer or Scorpio, both of which are kind of intense characters so this feels ALL IN from the get go. That's OK, because you're an all in kinda' person yourself. It's possible that it's a blast from the past, as Judgment can indicate second chances, now appreciated as both parties are older and wiser.

WHERE AND HOW (King of Swords, Page of Coins): There's something educational about this (re)connection, perhaps you're on a course, a lecture, a workshop or even... dare I say... shock horror... A SCHOOL REUNION. Man alive, please god no. Well, keep an open mind Leo, because this relationship has got legs for the future.

WHO (The Emperor): This card suggests an Aries. What's interesting about you and Aries is that you have a 'money-making' connection, together - your prudence and their confidence combine to move mountains. It's a nice combo. P.S. they might be a TEENY bit evil though.

WHERE AND HOW (The Sun, Page of Swords): Definitely on holiday - somewhere hot, sunny and fun. I think, initially, you might spot this person and think *a-hole* . But then, you'll get another look and see another side and be drawn in. You're opposites really, but we know how they can attract...

WHO (Eight of Coins): Definitely an Earth sign - Capricorn, Virgo or Taurus. And someone with real ambition, on the rise, living and learning. You admire their determination and rock-solid belief that they can achieve anything. Let this person elevate your own ambitions and self belief.

WHERE AND HOW (Four of Cups, Three of Cups): So, you'll meet somewhere that's meant to be fun but you're actually kinda bored, like those 'forced fun' away days that work try and do... It's also, weirdly, possible it's near water in some way. So, when you're feeling 'meh' (and know you're not meant to be), lift your head and look around. There's an object of affection on the horizon...

WHO (Queen of Wands): I wonder if this is someone from work? A colleague or even (yikes) a senior. Likely to be a Fire sign - Leo, Aries, Sagittarius - so they're dynamic, bold, inspiring but maybe also a little impetuous and loud. Sometimes when you see them coming you can't help rolling your eyes (that's just typical Scorpio though).

WHERE AND HOW (The Empress, Eight of Swords): A beautiful natural landscape and sanctuary that, maybe because you see it everyday or very often, has just become like background noise to you. Look again at your surroundings; where is there natural beauty? Point this out to someone you fancy and see a little light spark in their eyes...

WHO (Four of Swords): An Air sign - Gemini, Libra or Aquarius. Hopefully Gemini as they are your opposite sign and you're a magical combo. This person is on a 'time out' in some way - perhaps poorly, recovering, on a sabbatical, or just a break. What could be better than a dose of Sagittarian positivity and high jinx!

WHERE AND HOW (Eight of Wands, Six of Wands): Wow, it's a 'swept off your feet' kinda feeling, and it's got big potential for the future, like this is 'the one'. Wands hint it might be via work, or some kind of venture/hobby/project you're involved in. Also possible it's a connection that starts via email, and maybe with someone from overseas.

WHO (Strength): A Leo. Someone who you really respect and admire for their endurance, resilience and hard-won success in life. They're a source of strength to you (and there's not many that can claim that, because that's normally the role you play for others). They may well be on some kind of journey, physical or emotional.

WHERE AND HOW (Seven of Coins, Seven of Wands): Hate to say it, hun, but think this one has got entanglements elsewhere which, when you meet, they're working through... in order to disentangle themselves. Watch for cross over, though, because it could get hairy. Give them time, keep your distance until the coast is clear, and then ignite fully what could be a wonderful connection.

WHO (Five of Coins): An Earth sign - Capricorn, Taurus or Virgo. Importantly, there's a feeling of loss around this person. Is this a blast from the past who once hurt you? Feels like a silly-move to get back in there, but things change. Don't they?

WHERE AND HOW (Page of Wands, Six of Cups): Definitely a past-life connection here - be it an ex, a shared place of education/work /home, a friend of a friend etc. And it also feels like a real risk, a bold move. This reinforces the ex theme. Go on then, jump in (but know where your life belts are!).

WHO (Six of Swords): An Air sign (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) who's on the move from somewhere/one. They're still healing from the shit they've had to walk away from, but that's no barrier to you because you're a natural empath and healer yourself. They're in good hands.

WHERE AND HOW (Three of Swords, Knight of Cups): The betrayal theme crops up so it's highly likely that's what they're recovering from. And the lovely trappings of romance sprinkle this relationship with fairy dust, rekindling both of your appetites for love. Picnics, walks on the beach, moonlight trysts... it's all Pisces catnip, and this person laps it up!
